Boko Haram fighter Mohammed Bashir, who was recently captured by the Nigerian police in Ondo, has revealed the sect was planning to attack the state.
The terrorist was nabbed in Isua Akoko, Akoko Southeast area of the state. He was paraded on Tuesday at Ondo State Police command in Igbatoro, Akure.
Bashir told newsmen in Hausa language that there were other members of the terrorist group yet to be apprehended.
“I am an officer in Boko Haram, I was arrested by the police when I wanted to go and eat,” he said.
”Other members of the gang and I have been meeting in the bush on how to carry out attacks on Ondo state. I left the meeting to go and eat when the police arrested me.”
When asked how he became a member of the sect, Bashir said he was picked up in the bush by some senior members of the group while he wanted to feed his donkey some months ago.
The suspect, 20, said, “Killing means nothing to us. I have once killed two people with gun. I killed one man and a boy; we just kill people at will. We kill people because we believe that those practising western education are evil doers and we must kill them.”
Meanwhile, Commissioner of Police Gbenga Adeyanju said the suspect would soon be handed over to the Nigerian Army for further action.
